“The dead have got something to say! And I’m saying it!” Here we go, folks! Warner Bros has revealed the main official trailer for The Bride!, the highly anticipated creation from the mind of visionary filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal (director of the excellent film The Lost Daughter). From director Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Jessie Buckley & Christian Bale comes The Bride! A bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories. In 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein’s monster asks Dr. Euphronius to create a companion for him. They give life to a murdered woman known as “the Bride,” sparking romance, police interest and radical social change. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic tale, as well as the original Bride of Frankenstein horror movie from 1935, though this is clearly something brand new from Gyllenhaal’s mind. This stars Buckley & Bale, with Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. It’s set to hit theaters in March 2026 in just a few more months. Yep, this definitely looks like it’s Gyllenhaal’s spin on The Joker, with some shots that are eerily similar, focusing instead on The Bride being our glorious anti-hero instead of Mr. Frankenstein’s Monster. This is going to be gnarly! I’m down to watch.
Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s movie The Bride!, direct from YouTube:
You can watch the teaser trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride movie right here for the first look again.
There’s a monster inside us all… A lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to Chicago in the 1930s to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. So the two revive a murdered woman and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance! The Bride! is directed by the acclaimed American actress / filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal, director of the film The Lost Daughter previously, and an episode of the series “Homemade”. The screenplay is also written by Gyllenhaal; inspired by Mary Shelley’s original “Frankenstein“. Produced by Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, Osnat Handelsman Keren, Maggie Gyllenhaal. With music composed by Hildur Gudnadóttir. Warner Bros sends Gyllenhaal’s The Bride movie in theaters nationwide (including IMAX) starting on March 6th, 2026 early next year. First impression? So who’s down for this?
